      Sorry about the dumb subject title 😳 we couldn't think of anything else. What we want to know is how to change the name of a component after it has been saved to a local collection. We tried changing its file name but when we open the local collection and bring the component into our new file it still has its old name 😲 . So basically we made a collection of components with names we now want to change but we cant, those components still come into our new files with their old names. So if anyone knows how to do this please help.

      Thanks
      TeamSDA

        Drag the component into a SketchUp session. Change the name of the component in the Entity Info box. Right click on the component and choose Save as... Save the component over the old one.
